PhD Position in cellular/ molecular or developmental biology 2010 at DKFZ, Germany

Thursday, October 7th, 2010

The project addresses the question of reprogramming i.e. the artificial process of transformation of a somatic into pluripotent cells. This involves epigenetic resetting, including DNA demethylation of pluripotency genes. Candidates will analyze the role of genes involved in DNA demethylation in mouse mutants. We are an English speaking,

PhD position in developmental biology 2010 at Bergen High Technology Centre, Norway

Thursday, September 9th, 2010

The research group headed by Fabian Rentzsch is offering one PhD student position for three years. The group analyzes neural development in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis in order to understand the earliest steps in the evolution of nervous systems. Cnidarians such as sea anemones, corals and jellyfish, are among the simplest animals that possess a nervous system. The PhD project addresses the developme
